7.  On 4 March 1999 the Lugansk Regional Court (Луганський обласний суд)[1] upheld the judgment to the extent that the applicant was awarded salary arrears, and the judgment in this respect became final. The court remitted the remainder of the applicant’s claims for fresh consideration.

12.  The judgment was enforced in the part relating to the reinstatement.
